Job Description

We're looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer to help shape the future of our cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices as we build our new engineering hub in Warsaw.

In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in driving our DevOps maturity—leading a small team, mentoring engineers, and setting technical direction across cloud, CI/CD, observability, and service reliability. You’ll work closely with the Director of DevOps and senior stakeholders across the business, blending technical leadership with strong communication and strategic influence.

You’ll be part of a platform that processes petabytes of high-resolution aerial imagery, powers AI-driven analytics, and delivers real-time geospatial intelligence to industries worldwide. Performance, scale, and availability are at the heart of what we do—and your work will be critical to ensuring our systems are reliable, secure, and resilient.

We value engineers who bring a hands-on approach, a fresh perspective, and a strong sense of ownership. Whether it’s shaping infrastructure roadmaps, automating delivery pipelines, or supporting cross-functional teams—you’ll help us push the boundaries of what’s possible with location intelligence.

As a people leader, you’ll manage and support up to 3 DevOps Engineers, guiding them through growth, technical challenges, and impactful delivery.

This is more than a DevOps role—it’s an opportunity to drive technical evolution, champion modern practices, and be part of a team that’s passionate about engineering excellence and real-world impact.
